MILLERSBURG, KENTUCKY -

Major Miller surveyed 100 acres of

land, given to him by the Governor

of Virginia as an inducement to

settle in Kentucky. Miller plotted

them into town lots, which were

incorporated as the town of

Millersburg. It was on a highway

of immigration into KY from the

East, resulting in Millersburg

growing in size and importance.
